Sayoko, Class 0 Goddess, Type 2, Unlimited, leaned against the railing of a bridge and looked out over the river. She watched the river for a moment with her now grey eyes, listening to it flow and churn. Then a new sound reached her ears. She knew who it was, even without turning.

"Arael," she said, addressing the second figure, "I want you to do something for me."

"Yes Sayoko?" The Angel replied.

"Kami-sama has given me a task. I'm going to hunt down Loki." Sayoko turned and looked at Arael. "If something happens to me, I want you to take care of Sentaro for me."

"That goes without saying." Arael replied.

Sayoko smiled. That was what she wanted to hear.

"I knew I could count on you." She turned back towards the river. The Goddess thought a moment, before speaking again. "I want you to know, regardless what anyone else thinks," she turned back to Arael, "I'm happy for you and my son. Kensuke and I agree, Sentaro has fallen for a wonderful person."

Arael blushed.

"You embarrass me."

"Yeah, I suppose I did." Sayoko replied. She then hugged Arael. "Treat him well. I know he'll treat you with equal care, and love."

Arael hugged Sayoko back.

"I will."

Sentaro Aida and Megami looked up as Arael reentered the restaurant. He started to get up out of the booth so she could sit back down, but she stopped him. With a smile, Arael gently pushed him back into a seated position, then sat down on his lap, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She let out a contented sigh as Sentaro wrapped his arms around her. She closed her eyes and rested her head against his shoulder.

Megami immediately began to make gagging noses as she pointed her finger into her throat. Sentaro ignored her, and looked at the Angel in his arms.

"What did Mom want?" he asked.

"Nothing." Arael murmured.

Sentaro frowned.

"Arael, my Mother just dragged you….."

"Technically she floated me out." The Angel pointed out, "I was unable to leave on my own."

"Damn Sentaro." Megami muttered, "I want a kiss like that."

Arael turned her head slightly, until she could just see Megami with an eye.

"You will not get a kiss like that." She said, "I'm the only one he's allowed to kiss."

"Now you sound like Asuka." Sentaro grumbled.

Arael only smirked.

"You won't tell me what you and Mom talked about?" he asked.

Arael lifted her head and turned to look into Sentaro's eyes.

"I'll give you a hint." She said, just before pressing her lips against his.
